MOONSTONE BOOKS FOR MAY

ROTTEN #1

Written by Mark Rahner and Robert Horton, art by Dan Dougherty.

New series debut!
A new twist on ZOMBIES with action, horror and the uncomfortably recognizable in the old West! A stop-lossed Army vet. A president in office without the popular vote. A terror crisis gripping the nation. Meet William Wade, newly minted -- and seriously resentful -- secret agent for President Rutherford B. Hayes. His mission with cerebral partner J.J. Flynn: travel the West and investigate outbreaks of the living dead -- each one more horrifyingly advanced than the last. 1877 is turning out to be one rotten year.

56 pages, $5.99.

THE PHANTOM GENERATIONS #3

Written by Mel Odom, art by Michael Stribling, cover by Doug Klauba.

A maxi-series of oneshot comic novellas, with each issue (by a different creative team) telling a tale of one of the 21 Phantoms! Novelist Mel Odom takes the third Phantom to the Caves of the Naga. The Phantom, along with the Bandar warriors, execute a stealthy, down-anddirty, "search, destroy, and rescue" mission right smack dab in the middle of a desperate sin city. Once you're in, there is only one way out.

32 pages, $3.99.

CAPTAIN ACTION #5

Written by Fabian Nicieza and Steve Grant, art by Mark Sparacio, covers by Sparacio and Paul Gulacy.

The final chapter in the opening gambit of the new Captain Action! The first shot fired in the takeover of the United States happened not with a bang, but with a whisper. Discover who's been infected with the Red Crawl, who hasn't and who's who! And what or who is Dr. Evil? And what is the President going to do?

32 pages, $3.99.

THE PHANTOM: GHOST WHO WALKS #3

Written by Mike Bullock and David Michelinie, art by Silvestre Szilagyi, covers by Herb Trimpe/Terry Austin and Mick Collins.

"End War III." Ripped from todayıs headlines, the End War comes to a violent climax right here. Kazi's found a way to kill The Man Who Cannot Die and with The Phantom out of commission, who will put an end to The Cleansing? Bonus: The serialized Phantom prose back-ups continue this issue.

CAPTAIN ACTION LTD EDITION BOBBLE HEAD

Show off your inner super spy, and get hip with this cool retro style bobble head! Captain Action originally was an action figure from Ideal Toys in the late 1960's. His "thing" was that he could be disguised as anyone from Spiderman to Aquaman! The original figures, outfits, and accessories go for crazy prices on Ebay, but you can get this bobble head for tons less! Bobble has tricorner -- just like Cap's chest emblem -- painted base, and is packaged in a window box. Standard 7" size.
